| Baseline / 60 days |
| Changes on physical performancy | Evaluation of Short Physical Performance Battery (point scale) which consists of three components: gait speed, chair-stand test, timed up and go (TUG) test (which assesses the time taken to rise from an arm chair, walk 3 m, turn, walk back, and sit down again), and balance (three different tests assessing ability to stand with the feet together in the side-by-side, semi-tandem, and tandem positions); accordingly, each component was scored from 0 (not possible) to 4 (best performance) and the scores add up to a total score ranging from 0 to 12. | Baseline / 60 days |
| Changes on functional status | Evaluation of Barthel Index (point scale) (covering all the aspects of self-care independence in daily living activities, including transfer, walking, stairs, toilet use, dressing, feeding, bladder, bowel, grooming, and bathing; score range, 0 (completely dependent) -100 (complete self-sufficiency)) | Baseline / 60 days |
| Changes on functional status | Evaluation of activities of daily living score (point scale): a simplified scale that provides for the assignment of a point for each independent function in order to obtain a total performance result ranging from 0 (complete dependence) to 6 (independence in all functions). | Baseline / 60 days |
| Changes on muscle strength | Evaluation of muscle strength (kg) | Baseline / 30 days / 60 days |
| Changes on Quality of life | Evaluation of Short-Form 12-Item Health Survey (poin survey): a generic health-status measure (physical component summary score and the mental component summary score) by addressing eight health domains (physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health. Score from 0 (bad quality) to 100 (high quality). | Baseline / 60 days |
| Changes on mood | Evaluation of Geriatric Depression Scale (point scale). a 30-question test with yes/no answers. 10 - 15 Points: Probable presence of depression; 6 - 9 Points: Depression possible; 0 - 5 Points: Unlikely Depression. | Baseline / 60 days |
| Changes on blood pressure | Evaluation of systolic and diastolic pressure (mm/Hg) | Baseline / 60 days |
| Changes on plasma free essential amino acids | Evaluation of free essential amino acids in plasma (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine) (micromol/L) | Baseline / 60 days |
| Changes on safety parameters | Evaluation of creatinine (mg/dl) | Baseline / 60 days |
| Changes on safety parameters | Evaluation of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase (IU/L) | Baseline / 60 days |
| Changes on safety parameters | Evaluation of gamma glutamyl transferase (U/L) | Baseline / 60 days |
